Thank A Farmer
Or maybe a rancher too. As I am preparing to give a persusasive presentation in my speech class, I was trying to decide what topic would be easiest to choose. Then I got to thinking why not choose a topic that I really want to share and inform these 30 people in my class. It […]
Cowboy Ethics…
I just finished reading Cowboy Ethics, a book focused on showing the financial world how far they have moved away from the values and principles that some of this country’s greatest heros lived for. I originally bought the book because I was intrigued by the photography of the American West, but as soon as I […]
Perception of the Industry
It is something that really gets under my skin. Just the thing to put me on my soapbox. It’s when a journalist or other public figure criticizes the agriculture industry and fails to show both sides of the story. The public gets all riled up about how farmers and ranchers are leading this country to […]
Then there were 2…
Well it is amazing how fast time flies. I am starting my last fall semester as an undergraduate, with only the spring semester to follow before graduation.

Its just the Wild West
It is hard to believe that it is already coming up to the last week in July. Where has the summer gone? I have m last two weeks ahead of me, but that does not mean that I am slowing down. This week we are still pushing hard on the hay. We finally got the […]
Wind, Fire, and Hay…
I really cannot believe how fast this summer is flying by. I only have three weeks left here in Wyoming until I move back to Stillwater. But who wants to dwell on the low points when there are so many awesome things around us? I really didn’t do just a whole lot of exciting things […]
Time Flies
It is hard to believe how quickly the past two weeks have passed. It seems like just yesterday it was a snow day on the first Sunday in June. The 4th of July was tons of fun. I went to the Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede on Friday. It was a good rodeo to go watch. […]
